Mother 2 and anti-piracy

[Gwen Khan]

I'm pretty sure that there are other games that have methods of preventing people who pirated it to play it entirely.

as much as Earthbound?

It depends what you mean by that, ze. If you pirated Chrono Trigger DS, for example, the game would keep working fine until you first went traveled through time, at which point you're stuck looking at a looping screen that never ends.

There are games that punish those who pirated the game, but in different ways.

There was one game that did it maliciously. Basically, at the end of each level, it would ask you for a code, which would be located in the manual. Now, because the internet was NEW back then, there were no cheat websites to tell you what the codes were, so if you didn't have the manual, you were screwed.

Good. I love them even more now.
